Red Hot Ravens visit Bengals on Thursday Night Football
After the utter 27-0 destruction of the team once known as the defending NFL Super Bowl champs, Pittsburgh, the Ravens want more blood.
On NFL Thursday Night Football, these red hot Baltimore Ravens will have the opportunity to do just that. They will travel to Cincinnati for Thursday Night Football and judging by the inconsistent play of the Cincinnati Bengals offense, it certainly looks like Ray Lewis and the rest of the gang will have another helpless prey come Thursday.
Ray Lewis led this Baltimore Ravens defense to become one of the best defenses there is in NFL Football. Defense has been the key for Baltimore dating as far back to their Super Bowl stint a few years ago. Unfortunately, that fabled defense took a 
sabbatical from the football field when Ray Lewis was sidelined by injuries in 2001.
Now that Ray Lewis is healthy and back at full strength, the Baltimore Ravens defense is back to its old tricks again. The rest of NFL Football can do NOTHING. Heck, the NFL Football champions themselves did not even ATTEMPTED to do anything last Sunday.
However, as good as the Baltimore Ravens are this season, there still are some who remain skeptical of this new Baltimore campaign.
Fresh off dismantling the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens can make the argument that they are the NFL’s most complete team. Yet until they make another Super Bowl run, it seems the Ravens can’t escape their own shadow.
Comparisons to the 2000 championship team crept up again soon after the 27-0 shutout of the defending Super Bowl champions, as they do every season when the Ravens are in the playoff hunt. The Ravens could only shake their heads.
‘’This is a hell of a group of guys that are making a name for themselves,'’ Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick said.
This year’s Ravens are not only more balanced than the 2000 team but they could be the most well-rounded team in the league. A win on Thursday Night Football over the Cincinnati Bengals just might shut their skeptics’ pie hole.
